Answer #1

Stock Concentration is

2.3

10000000

(Stock 1) 107

1

Take 100uL from Stock 1 and add in 10mL

2.3

100000

(Stock 2) 105

1/100

Take 100uL from Stock 2 and add in 10mL

2.3

1000

(Stock 3) 103

1/10000

Take 100uL from Stock 2 and add in 1mL

2.3

100

(Stock 4)

1/100000

So, Stock 4 is having cells number per mL is

2300

As we have Cell concentration that is 2300 and desired concentration required is 30 and 300 colonies so we need to further dilute the samples.

Since 1mL stock is having 2300 cells so 0.1 mL will have =2300/10

= 230 cells

0.1ml = 230 Cells

Volume required for 300 colonies = (300/230)/10

                                                            = 0.130 mL

Similarly for 30 colonies, 2300 in 1 ml, 230 in 0.1 ml and 23 in 0.01mL (1/100 mL)

Volume required for = (30/23)/100

                                    =0.0130 mL

Finally, volume required for 30 and 300 colonies would be 0.0130 mL and 0.130mL from stock 4

    A bacterial sample has a concentration of 2 x106 CFUlml. Show a scheme of dilutions to obtain 30-300 colonies on a plate. Your scheme should contain the volume of diluent (sterile water), volume of sample transferred each time, the concentration of bacteria (CFU/mL) in each dilution. You can assume you are plating 1 mL of the dilution on plates of nutrient agar. See Figure 1 in protocol 10. Dilution factor in single transfer (change x and y to numbers 10...
